Top 5 Exercises for Leg | Burnout Fitness Kolkata

In your quest to have muscular and strong legs, there are various exercises that you can do at the gym. There are different multi joint exercises that release muscle-building hormones to a big extent. The focus on multi joint exercises is because single joint exercises don’t deliver as they do.

The muscle groups involved on the leg-day regime are the glutes, quads, hamstrings and the calves.

The leg-day at gym needs to take care of all these critical muscle groups and more. But choosing the right

exercise areas is only the beginning of the arduous journey. It must be loaded correctly for optimum effect.

Number of sets should also be followed to achieve results. It’s recommended to start the routine with the most

challenging exercises which would require the maximum effort.

The mixture of squats and a few more challenging moves are listed below:

1. Barbell squat- None of the other exercises is quite as effective as this, so it had to be the no.1. Balance
   the rod on your shoulders and go as down on your knees with the lift as possible. It not only works the lower-body muscles but also the shoulders, chest and your core muscles.
2. Romanian deadlift- Hold the barbell in front of your upper thighs with your feet apart. Lean your
   body down to the extent that the torso is parallel to the floor. Hold the position till the hamstrings get a good stretch. Keep your lower back very strong for this lift.
3. Bulgarian split squat- As only one side is holding the weight at one time so this exercise is quite difficult. Sets of 8-12 reps per leg should do the job for you.
   
   
4. Hack squat- Although machine loaded weights are frowned upon by many but picking up the barbell placed behind your shoulders is much safer. Quads and glutes are mostly
   targeted in this form of exercise.
5. Walking Lunge- These are more functional and are the perfect finishing leg workout. Use dumbbells for the lunges with alternate foot on every step.
